Once Upon a Time in War is a photographic retrospect of the Great War, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam and the War on Terror.

This anonymous Marine was killed after engaging in a duel with a Japanese soldier (the body in the background) during the battle of Engebi Island on Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific. A moment after finishing off his enemy in hand to hand combat, a sniper’s bullet killed the victorious Marine. As he fell, his hold on his knife never faltered leaving the illusion that even in death he’s ready for a fight.

Nazi war criminal and fugitive Klaas Carel Faber dies at 90-years-old in Germany as a free man
A Dutch-born man who was on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of most-wanted Nazi criminals has died at age 90, the BBC reported.
Klaas Carel Faber, who served in an SS unit, was sentenced to death in 1947 for the deaths of 22 Jews at the Westerbork transit camp, the BBC said. Westerbork was the transit point to concentration camps for thousands of Dutch Jews, including Anne Frank.
Faber’s term was commuted to life, but he escaped in 1952 and fled to Germany. There, he received German citizenship and avoided multiple attempts to extradite him.
